Complexities Associated with Safe Chemical Manufacturing, Storage and Transport
The safe manufacture, storage and transport of dangerous goods is a specialised area with significant risks. A recent ABC report detailed the consequences if risks are not managed effectively.
Genaralist consulting firms often don’t have the specialised experience and knowledge for this complex subject:
- State Laws
- Federal Laws
- Australia Standards
- Different classes of chemicals
- Changing requirements with increased storage quantities
Environmental Citizens recommends specialist Dangerous Goods consultants be engaged to assist in the assessment and improvement of chemical facilities.
